There is a preconceived idea of what a cat lady is. People think that they are women who gave up on men and has tunneled all of their love to cats and cats and more cats. That isn't true. Cat ladies are like onions. There are multiples of levels or layers to being a cat lady. I feel that I am on level 2-3.

  • Level 1 - Cat Friendly
    • This person doesn't have cats, but they always talk about when they will finally get one. They like cats. Well they like kittens more than actual cats. They think they are the cutest little things. They even watch Youtube videos of silly cats doing silly things.
  • Level 2- Cat Obsessed
    • They have one cat. Their Instagram is covered with this cute kitty. The person at this level likes cats, but loves their cat beyond words. She is thinking about starting her own cat club, but hasn't found the time to put the effort into it yet.
  • Level 3- Cat Lady
    • They have 2-3 cats. They follow cats on Instagram that have their own account. They begin to adjust their relationship standards for the other persons love for cats. Pretty much, if you are not a fan of cats- she is not a fan of you. And don't even get her started on declawing.
  • Level 4- Almost Crazy Cat Lady
    • She still just has the 2-3 cats, but she also has framed photos of the cats on her wall. Their cats each have an Instagram account with an impressive amount of followers. The Christmas gifts she gives her cats are way more expensive than the gifts she gives her friends or herself. This person decides who they invite over by the cat's preference. The cat eats better than she does. Heck! The litter that she purchases for her cats is way more expensive than the food she buys herself. The phrase people use, "the kids come first." Well her cats come first.
  • Level 5- Crazy Cat Lady
    • This level is the ultimate level of cat lady. This girl has hook ups at animal shelters all over town. She is the first person they call when a cat or kitten needs a home. Petfinder is child's play. When you go over to her house every couch, chair, and table is covered with sleepy cats. She has a stroller. She doesn't have a kids. It's for her cats. She loves her babies. Her babies mean everything to her. She even lets them drink out of her cup. It doesn't matter. Her babies come first.

I think I am a either a Level 3-4 Cat Lady. However, my boyfriend thinks I am a Level 5. Where do you stand on this list or do you know someone who sits on this scale? Let me know in the poll below.
